Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

Hey up all, bit busy here in work early and desks to move etc!

Starnac, thank you sorry didn't reply before and you sound like you'll be having a grand time with your brood soon as well, how is the bump dare I ask???????????????

GV - I hope your preparations go well, better to be prepared eh? Sure the tom's will ripen, any chance of that recipe? (Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)

Uni, like Red, I use blogger too and find it brilliant and have previously linked ebay etc to my posts when I've a lot of plants extra. I'm developing my website in wordpress format as that can be both a blog and shop - might be worth looking at both? Don't know much about esty or twitter.

Keiss - yesterday I hit my hand with a hammer, dropped a flagstone on my toe and nearly cut my finger off with a pair of scissors, me thinks Karma playing part, shows you if you say bad things......................meeting was OK if a bit frosty, he apologised, but then half an hour later was acting in the same manner *sigh* bit like a child saying sorry and thinking its OK to behave the same tbh............

All this marmalade talk is making me hungry! Thank you for the recipes chaps all of you

Plan for today, bit of work, earlier than planned due to dd bus NOT coming
Office officially cleared out, trying locate myself and my pc in a different room
Cut flowers cut for drying
Got a table to pick up on freecycle which might work better in my sunny room than the HUGE one
DD meeting later at school (grr, means a double trip) but about the italian exchange we are having so be fun
Ds day off sneaky blighter
Abandoned peedie at home with the cheeries who were bleery when I was running out the door to get dd to school (had to dash home as do bus run in pj's, didn't want to go into office in pj's but don't suppose anyone would have thought it unusual for me!)
Dropped off eggs
Arranged to cat sit for a chum later
Arranged to dog sit for another chum
Banks to check etc
3 days of no food shopping, I may allow myself a little treat
Not sure what else yet - have a great one, doing more corrections (well plodding them in) might kick about inbetween.....

KC I promise I'm slowing down a bit........................:)

Hope you're good today, hop over a few fences including to your land in a mo

Keiss_21

Ouch to all the damage to your body yesterday Pippi! :eek: Hope you are more gentle to it today!

So what will you do with that lovely large table in the sunny room? We have been considering moving our dining table to a shed and getting a smaller one in the conservatory. Now we have cleared out nearly everything, it looks like it fits quite well, so long as we don't bring back all the other stuff

Pah to the ex-superviser...will he ever change his ways do you think?

Right, need to get cleaning again.

bump is fine. 11 days left at work and can't wait to finish. everyone in the family are now taking bets as to whether he will be an October or a November baby (due date 1st November) personally I don't mind as long as he is okay (may change my mind if I go overdue though )

unix - I find misi easier than etsy to deal with if you want to check that site out too.

not up to much today as I'm in work later. Got a day off tomorrow though so plan to get more done then.

What's everyone else up to??

Well keiss I'm not sure about the table, will see what the freegle one is like............. the one in the sunny room is my old kitchen table, which I hope will fit in the new house (mainland house in years to come) it does fit in the utility room of enormity, but you then end up walking around it all the time or piling things on it

Well done on getting so much sorted!

So far today, no accidents to report, but its only lunchtime!

ETA starnac I'm finishing corrections and generally trying to behave myself, however, odd stripey socks on, it may prove difficult!

Hi Pipster - all ok with you?

I'm having a few days off work which is great and can catch up with some preserving. Was kindly gifted some bramleys and turned them into fruit butter and chutney to use all of them up. Scrumped lots of crab apples yesterday and a few blackberries which were washed and popped into the freezer with the weight written on the bag (all organised for a change!). The crab apples are being turned into jelly, I hope. Will be starting this tonight and then planning what to do with some more bramleys which might get next week

Apple'ed out here! Very nice preserving and chutney making to turn what is ready now into something delish to eat next year!
